Excerpt from The Human Machine
There are men who are capable of loving a machine more deeply than they can love a woman. They are among the happiest men on earth. This is not a sneer meanly shot from cover at women. It is Simply a statement of notorious fact. Men who worry themselves to distraction over the perfecting of a machine are indubitably blessed beyond their kind. Most of us have known such men. Yesterday they were constructing motor cars. But to-day aeroplanes are in the air - or, at any rate, they ought to be, according to the inventors. Watch the inventors. Invention is not usually their principal business. They must invent in their spare time. They must invent before breakfast, invent in the Strand between Lyons's and the office, invent after dinner, invent on Sundays. See with what ardour they rush home of a night! See how they seize a half-holiday, like hungry dogs a bone! They don't want golf, bridge, limericks, novels, illustrated magazines, clubs, whisky, starting-prices, hints about neck ties, political meetings, yarns, comic songs.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a revolutionary method to living a balanced and fulfilling life by treating the human machine - our minds and bodies - as a well-oiled apparatus. The author argues that we must not take this machine for granted but should study it and its intricate workings much like we would any other machine. Until the brain is disciplined and trained to obey our will, we will be susceptible to letting external factors negatively affect our well-being. By learning to control our brains through concentration, we can then focus on remedying our negative habits and replacing them with positive ones. The author suggests that the average person is only consciously responsible for about 10% of their daily decisions, the remaining 90% being influenced by unconscious habits. The key to a happier and more productive life is to change those habits. By using the willpower to control the brain, one can fundamentally change the shape of their character, much like a sculptor shapes clay. This book provides readers with an important new perspective on maximizing the human experience and the tools needed to achieve it.
